Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, recommended that President Isaac Herzog task Benjamin Netanyahu with forming the next government. Feiglin met with Herzog as part of consultations with faction representatives following the recent elections.
However, Feiglin also called for the dissolution of the 26th Knesset and new elections, alleging that foreign and hostile elements interfered with the election process and influenced its results. He stated that his party would not rule out cooperation with any political entity, provided there is a "fundamental change" in government policy.
Feiglin emphasized that Zehut's participation in a coalition would depend on the policies adopted, not on the identities of other partners. The primary condition he set is a complete renunciation of what he termed the "Oslo concept," which he claims led to the October 7th massacre, and the adoption of policies to prevent its recurrence.
Feiglin further asserted that foreign interference not only attempted to influence votes but actually altered the election outcome. He linked the alleged foreign actors involved in the elections to those who financed the October 7th attack. "An election process that was polluted, and the election results were influenced by the same hostile foreign elements that financed the October 7th massacre, lacks legitimacy and should be immediately dissolved for new and clean elections," he stated.
Additionally, Feiglin requested President Herzog to consider a pardon for Amiram Ben-Uliel, convicted of murdering the three members of the Dawabsheh family in Duma. Feiglin drew a parallel to his past efforts to secure the release of Roman Zdorov, a former Knesset member.
